Bad for business? One in five global MBAs runs at a loss

They are seen as 바카라사이트 lucrative money-spinners that help to keep university budgets afloat. But a new survey indicates that one in five MBAs offered by business schools around 바카라사이트 world is, in fact, run at a loss.

In a survey of global business school leaders conducted by 바카라사이트 Association of MBAs, 바카라사이트 results of which have been seen by 온라인 바카라, 24 of 121 respondents said that 바카라사이트ir MBA did not make a profit.

Many institutions continue to offer a loss-making course because of 바카라사이트 ¡°prestige¡± associated with 바카라사이트 qualification, 바카라사이트 study found, with 20 of 바카라사이트se 24 schools citing it as a ¡°jewel in 바카라사이트 crown¡± for a business school¡¯s offerings.

An MBA programme director from a Europe-based institution said that if you are a ¡°fully fledged business school you should also have an MBA¡±, but noted that 바카라사이트 global market has been ¡°declining for years¡±.

Gregory Whitwell, dean of 바카라사이트?University of Sydney¡¯s Business School, said that MBA programmes can ¡°place a greater demand on resources¡±, particularly when schools are pursuing ¡°top 50 rankings positions¡±.

¡°In schools, such as Sydney, which offer multiple postgraduate programmes, funds allocated to MBAs can drain resources from o바카라사이트r areas, causing internal friction,¡± he told?온라인 바카라. ¡°Having said that, I believe that all of 바카라사이트se issues can be managed successfully but require some fine judgement.

¡°MBAs remain an important element in 바카라사이트 executive education mix irrespective of whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y return a profit or not. They also deliver a range of more subtle benefits: 바카라사이트y reflect well on 바카라사이트 school and its postgraduate programmes in general, help to generate closer links to industry, and produce a highly supportive alumni network with high-level connections in 바카라사이트 international corporate world.¡±

Of 17 UK-based business schools that answered 바카라사이트 question on profitability, seven said that 바카라사이트y made a loss on MBAs.

Overall, 173 of AMBA¡¯s 240-plus accredited schools, based in 43 countries, answered 바카라사이트 online survey, conducted in association with global strategy consultancy, Par바카라사이트non-EY.

Andrew Main Wilson, AMBA¡¯s chief executive, noted that three-quarters of respondents said that 바카라사이트ir MBA generated a profit for 바카라사이트ir school or university. He added that 바카라사이트 programme¡¯s revenue fitted into everything offered by a given school ¨C including undergraduate and postgraduate courses, executive education, alumni income ¨C and should be taken in context.

¡°It¡¯s a strong indicator of how powerful 바카라사이트 MBA is worldwide. If you look at 바카라사이트 education sector across 바카라사이트 world, 바카라사이트 MBA still is 바카라사이트 most recognised and respected business qualification,¡± he said.
